Bus safety video viewing begins Monday

Students who ride the bus to Fort Wayne Community Schools will be able to watch the required bus safety video on LTV-54 beginning Monday.
FWCS' Transportation Department runs more than 700 routes per day logging more than 16,000 miles. The buses carry more than 25,000 students to and from school and other locations, which requires a tremendous amount of care and concern by everyone involved, including the riders.
"The Safety Way Out" video explains the basics of bus evacuation in case there is an emergency on the bus. Students and classroom staff are required to view the video. Bus drivers also do a practice bus evacuation with student riders.
LTV will be showing the video throughout September beginning Monday, Sept. 4, and running through Friday, Sept. 28.
The video will be aired:
• Mondays at 8 a.m.
• Tuesdays at 9 a.m.
• Wednesdays at 10 a.m.
• Thursdays at noon
• Fridays at 1 p.m.
